No room for one person at the China King. Of course commerce over courtesy at a Chinese buffet. A place where there is room for 4, 2. Never 1. A mathematical incongruity. Wicked.

I went to the Riverfront Barbecue only a couple blocks from home. I sat at the empty bar with my back to the full dining room.

I watched electricity being delivered.
